當貿易商爭吵在聯邦機關減息，美元下降

在星期五美元下降了反對歐洲和磅，當貿易商繼續熱烈辯論美國聯邦儲蓄會是否將繼續切口利率在經濟不確定性之中。

在星期四歐洲在後換在紐約的黃昏交換手在US$1.4378，從US$1.4320起。

英磅及早被引述了在US$1.9841，從US$1.9830起每天。

Although the pound gained ground it has dropped below two dollars of late, marking its lowest levels against the US dollar since August.

The US dollar was meanwhile trading at ¥114.09, up from ¥113.09 on Thursday.

The US currency’s value has risen and fallen in the past week as traders have either bet up or discounted the odds of a fresh Fed rate cut.

The Fed has cut borrowing costs three times since September in a bid to underpin US economic momentum in the face of a prolonged housing slump, but analysts say rising inflationary pressures may soon put an end to the rate cuts.

The US Commerce Department reported earlier on Friday that a core US inflation gauge, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, bounced up an annual 2.2 percent last month, above the Fed’s comfort zone of between 1 percent and 2 percent.

In late New York trading, the US dollar stood at 1.1551 Swiss francs from SF1.1581 on Thursday.
